This
is the question that all stylists hear at the start of every season. Everyone wants to have what’s “in style”. The question is, are they prepared to wear
and style what’s “ in style”. Actually what you need to ask yourself is do you
want what’s in fashion or the latest trend.
So you are probably wondering what’s the difference?
In
Fashion: usually is an everyday wearable style.
Also known as “street wear”. These styles are more often softer and have
a more classic look to them. Most people
are able to wear them just by changing a few angles and/or lengths (ie. The
classic bob).
The
Trend: These styles are typically more dramatic. Often called “ edgy”. The lines and shapes in these cuts are
usually very defined and do not typically change from head to head. Lengths and angles are more distinct and
intentional (ie. A cut that includes an
area that reveals an undercut)
So
how does one decide whether they want a trendy cut or a more fashionable style?
There
are a few questions and thoughts to consider when deciding.
#1
what is my personality? Am I more of a
quiet and reserved type or do I have a crazy side of me that loves to come out?
#2
what’s my lifestyle? Do I juggle kids, work and household? Do I have time to
spend styling my hair? Or do I love to fuss and try new ways to style my “do”
every morning?
Now
the biggest question of all will be.......
What
kind of look do I want for my wedding day?
Can
my everyday style be incorporated into a
wedding “do”?
YES!!
IT CAN!
Your
big day event gives a glimmer of who you are right down to your hairstyle. It’s amazing how just adding a few curls, a
simple braid or even a flower can change your look from day wear to glam wear. Not sure what would go with the style of your
dress? Or what to “add” to your
style to make it look like a wedding
style? I strongly recommend to look for pictures. Even pictures that show different lengths of
hair, color or style,just choose pics that you like. Your stylist should be able to see a theme
run though the pictures which then tells the stylist what you are looking
for. This is actually better than trying
to find the exact picture of the exact hairstyle you are looking for. Unless you find a picture of you in a style
you like it’s impossible to look exactly
like a picture of another person.
Remember,
when all is said and done, you want to look like you, but....better.
I
often hear girls say,”I want to look like myself.” And you should!! However, keep
in mind you don’t wear a wedding dress everyday so neither should your
hair look like your everyday style.
